No Claim to Prophethood


Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad is accused of claiming to be a prophet, in violation of the Islamic teaching that the Holy Prophet Muhammad was the Last of the Prophets (Khatam an-nabiyyin or Khatam al-anbiya).

This is an entirely false allegation, as we will now prove.

This discussion is divided into the following topics:

  1. Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad declared that the Holy Prophet Muhammad was the Last Prophet after whom no prophet at all can possibly come.
  2. He repeatedly denied the charge that he was claiming to be a prophet.
  3. He explained that the words 'prophet' (nabi) and 'messenger' (rasul) about him are only meant metaphorically, and not in a real sense .
  4. He rejected the belief that the Promised Messiah, according to Hadith reports, must be a prophet.
  5. In Islamic tradition and practice, the words 'prophet' (nabi) and 'messenger' (rasul) can be applied to non-prophets.
  6. He wrote in a major book one year before his death that Holy Prophet Muhammad came at the end of all the prophets.
  7. He stated that those who believe in a prophet after the Holy Prophet Muhammad are making that prophet into the Khatam an-nabiyyin instead of the Holy Prophet.
  8. He did not claim to be a prophet in Haqiqat-ul-Wahy: Response to Qadiani Jama‘at members
  9. His explanation of Quranic verse (4:69) about “prophets, truthful, faithful, righteous”: four qualities bestowed upon saints in Islam.
